Proposal for action plan for Marine Pollution

Posted on Jul 06

Dr Holly Nel, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Rhodes University's Department of Zoology and Entomology is currently assisting SST with the development of a proposal for an action plan for a marine pollution network.

With SST based in Kenton on Sea it is opportune to collaborate with Dr Nel whose original research area was the Kariega estuary but then her focus shifted moved into studying plastic pollution.

The idea for a marine pollution network was mooted at the second African Marine Debris summit which took place at Kirstenbosch from the 3rd to the 5th of June 2015 and SST was tasked to develop the proposal for an action plan for such a network.
